Proper Food Will Always Trump Supplements For Health

We are inundated with advertizements for all sorts of supplements to maintain and improve health.  The truth? "Food is always a better source of nutrients than a pill"

Heads up: when any supplement is advertised, this warning is always included:

• Unlike drugs, supplements are not permitted to be marketed for the purpose of treating, diagnosing, preventing, or curing diseases. That means supplements should not make disease claims, such as “lowers high cholesterol” or “treats heart disease.” Claims like these cannot be legitimately made for dietary supplements.  (link)
